The Theatre

Friday, August 17th

This morning was spent in the theater, otherwise known as the operating room.  A few hours spent on a vehicular accident with multiple fractures.   This was day two of fracture repair.  Today was a splintered tibia and a compound ankle fracture involving a talar fractue.  Very effective team effort and skills of two excellent surgeons: Professor Mulla and Dr. Patrick Kinda.

Dinner out with Dr. Patrick at Zoran Cafe the Levy Mall.
